Son bec est nettement plus foncé que la moyenne. Je n'ai découvert le deuxième au fond que lorsque j'ai mis la photo sur le PC. Le hasard aide bien le photographe en transformant une photo plutôt banale en quelque chose d'original.

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! ❤️ ❤️❤️
I visited the open Art Museum and noticed that this art piece is very similar to my Gorilla Tripod :-). I took this picture for a fun.
Every design gets inspired by something who knows that the design of this tripod was inspired by this.
Selciato del gigante
Affioramento roccioso naturale di origine vulcanica, situato a Bushmills, nella contea di Antrim, Irlanda del Nord.
Composto da circa 40.000 colonne basaltiche, la suggestiva conformazione di rocce, risalente a 60 milioni di anni fa, ha ispirato antiche storie e leggende che narrano di giganti e battaglie.
Patrimonio dell'umanità dell'UNESCO dal 1986.
The origin of these "pearls of nature" is a miracle. As I looked more closely at the ground, I saw a small blade of grass that was slightly higher than the others. For this reason, I was able to take my camera closer to the object and take this detail bigger. I was fascinated when I could look at this little wonder of nature at home.
While I was photographed, the sunrays warmed the ice crystals on the grasshammer so that they just slid down the stalk, when I finished with photography. What a wonderful experience that fascinated me once again and I could learn from nature.
This picture shows me both sides of the winter. The first is cold and somehow fancinating, the second shows me that the cold of the wafting sun has to give way. At least in the spring, when the life awakens again.
I am happy to share this here with you.
Enjoy everybody and a wonderful weekend to all of you.
Thank you for all your sympathy for my pictures here and the dear comments, which always give me great pleasure.
Have a wonderful time in the nature.

Nel lago di Molveno, gioiello del Parco Naturale Adamello Brenta, si specchiano le Dolomiti: un’immagine da cartolina per un contesto naturale considerato un esempio di gestione del territorio.
Dove si trova
Siamo all’interno di una maestosa cornice naturale composta dalla catena montuosa del Gruppo del Brenta, dal massiccio del Monte Gazza e della Paganella, precisamente a 40 chilometri da Trento. Il Lago di Molveno è un lago alpino di origine naturale che nel 2019 è stato proclamato nuovamente lago più bello e più pulito d’Italia da Legambiente e il Touring Club Italiano per la qualità dell’acqua, della spiaggia e dei servizi. A nord del lago si trova il paese di Molveno, Bandiera Arancione del Touring Club.
C'était à l'origine, un ensemble de 3 dolmens dont l'un a été déplacé à la fin du XIXe s dans le cimetière de Meudon en Île-de-France pour servir de monument funéraire à la famille Piketty !
Ils datent du Néolithique (-4000 -3500 av JC) et étaient autrefois recouverts d'un tumulus aujourd'hui érodé.

Valle de Estós, La Ribagorza, Huesca, Aragón, España.
El valle de Estós (en aragonés benasqués Vall d'Estós o Ball d'Estós) es un valle pirenaico situado en la comarca aragonesa de La Ribagorza.
Se ubica en la zona noroccidental del valle de Benasque (noreste de la provincia de Huesca) y dentro del parque natural Posets-Maladeta. Al norte de este valle, que es de origen glaciar, está el macizo del Perdiguero (3.221 m), y al sur el macizo del Posets (3.375 m). Este valle, orientado de oeste a este, tiene una longitud aproximada de 12 km y en el fondo de él transcurren las aguas del río Estós, afluente del río Ésera. Clarabides, Gías, Oô, son picos que también superan los 3.000 m y hacen frontera con Francia. La altitud del valle oscila entre los 1.400 m y los 3.375 m.
Desde el año 1994 forma parte del parque natural de Posets-Maladeta por sus importantes valores ecológicos. El paisaje predominante es el de la alta montaña pirenaica con buena representación de los pisos climáticos alpino, subalpino y montano. La flora predominante son los pastizales de montaña y los bosques, de coníferas (pino negro y abeto), de caducifolios (haya, álamo temblón, abedul, sauce, arce y avellano) y como principales arbustos el boj, enebro y rododendro. También se encuentran algunos endemismos pirenaicos. En cuanto a la fauna, encontramos a todos los animales presentes en los ecosistemasde la alta montaña pirenaica destacando una importante población de sarrios y corzos y como aves más representativas el urogallo, la perdiz nival y el quebrantahuesos.
El río Estós, al que afluyen múltiples barrancos y torrentes procedentes de los numerosos ibones (lagos de origen glaciar), de las nieves perpetuas y de algunos de los glaciares más meridionales de Europa, recorre el fondo del valle.
El valle tiene un gran atractivo turístico para los amantes de las excursiones de montaña, de la escalada, el esquí de montaña y el alpinismo. También se practica la pesca de la trucha y la caza mayor (sarrios, corzos y jabalíes). En la época veraniega sus laderas son lugar de pasto de un gran rebaño de vacas.
El acceso al valle se realiza preferentemente a pie a través de una red de senderos bien señalizados, aunque hay una pista forestal restringida al tránsito de vehículos autorizados. A lo largo del camino encontramos numerosas cabañas de pastores y un refugio de montaña guardado (1.895 m) gestionado por un guarda de la Federación Aragonesa de Montaña.
The Estós Valley (in Benasquese Aragonese, Vall d'Estós or Ball d'Estós) is a Pyrenean valley located in the Aragonese region of La Ribagorza.
It lies in the northwestern part of the Benasque Valley (northeast of the province of Huesca) and within the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park. To the north of this valley, which is of glacial origin, is the Perdiguero massif (3,221 m), and to the south, the Posets massif (3,375 m). This valley, oriented from west to east, is approximately 12 km long, and the Estós River, a tributary of the Ésera River, flows through its bottom. Clarabides, Gías, and Oô are peaks that also exceed 3,000 m and form the border with France. The valley's altitude ranges from 1,400 m to 3,375 m.
Since 1994, it has been part of the Posets-Maladeta Natural Park due to its significant ecological value. The predominant landscape is that of the high Pyrenees, with a good representation of the alpine, subalpine, and montane climate zones. The predominant flora consists of mountain pastures and forests, including conifers (black pine and fir), deciduous trees (beech, aspen, birch, willow, maple, and hazel), and, as main shrubs, boxwood, juniper, and rhododendron. Several Pyrenean endemic species are also found. As for the fauna, all the animals present in the high Pyrenean mountain ecosystems are found here, with a significant population of Pyrenean chamois and roe deer, and the most representative birds being the capercaillie, the ptarmigan, and the bearded vulture.
The Estós River, fed by numerous ravines and streams originating from the many glacial lakes (ibones), the permanent snowfields, and some of the southernmost glaciers in Europe, flows through the valley floor.
The valley is a popular tourist destination for mountain hikers, climbers, ski mountaineers, and alpinists. Trout fishing and big game hunting (chamois, roe deer, and wild boar) are also popular. In the summer, its slopes serve as grazing land for a large herd of cattle.
Access to the valley is primarily on foot via a network of well-marked trails, although there is a forest track restricted to authorized vehicles. Along the way, you'll find numerous shepherd's huts and a staffed mountain refuge (1,895 m) managed by a warden from the Aragonese Mountain Federation.
Fuchsia magellanica, commonly known as the Hummingbird fuchsia or Hardy fuchsia, is a species of flowering plant native to South America, from the temperate southern regions of Argentina and Chile to the Straits of Magellan, in general growing near the waterways.
In the southern part of Chile (Western Patagonia) it grows at the edge of the woods.
This sub-shrub can grow to 10 feet (3.0 m) in height and width in frost-free climates, and 4–5 feet (1.2–1.5 m) where is colder. The plant blossoms profusely over a long period with many small and tubular pendent flowers, in brilliant shades of red and purple, softer shades of pink and lavender, and some in white.
It is naturalized in the United Kingdom and Bolivia, regions where it was introduced for gardening. It arrived in England in the late 18th century. According to tradition, the English gardener James Lee discovered it on the windowsill of a seaman's house and bought it for a considerable sum. As early as 1793 Lee is said to have sold a large number of pieces that he had pulled from this one copy.
In Australia, the species is recorded as naturalised in the states of Western Australia, South Australia, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania.
The species is widely used in gardening, as an ornamental plant, due to the color and shape of its flowers. Many of the existing cultivars of Fuchsia are hybrids of this species with another of the genus, generally originating in warmer climates, since their main use as a source of hybridization is due to their resistance to cold.
It is grown in temperate and subtropical gardens, or in containers on patios, balconies, and indoors, but prefers a sunny position.
The plants are quite cold-hardy compared to other species from more tropical climates, and only die in hard frosts.
The profuse pendent flowers are a nectar source attractive to hummingbirds.
This Fuchsia is one of the species hybridized in obtaining "Brinco-de-princesa" (Princess earring), the name by what is known in Brazil.
Informations by Wikipedia
In certain sense we can say that Fuchsia magellanica can be the mother of many species of fuchsias.
Curious about the origins of this colour I did a little research online:
In 1937 the Italian surrealist designer Elsa Schiaparelli mixed a touch of white with magenta to create this vivid colour. She used it to package her debut perfume Shocking.
For me, shocking pink and mini skirts are somehow inextricably linked in my nostalgia for the 1970s. I did not own/wear one in pink but clearly remember chopping a good portion off a beautiful Scottish kilt to create a mini skirt.

Une vue vers l'ouest à partir de la Plaza de la Armería à Madrid, Espagne.
La colossale cathédrale de Nuestra Señora de la Almudena, dont la construction a duré plus d'un siècle (le projet initial date de 1879), encadre, avec la Palais royal, la Plaza de la Armería où se trouve sa façade principale. Avec son architecture néoclassique mâtinée de gothique en harmonie avec le palais et un intérieur néogothique, elle semble sortie tout droit du 19e siècle alors qu'elle n'a été achevée que dans les années 1990 et consacrée par le pape Jean-Paul II en 1993. Elle est dédiée à la sainte patronne de la ville dont une image peinte au 16e siècle orne l'autel de la crypte.
Son titre "Almudena" est d'origine arabe et selon les historiens vient du mot « al-Mudayna », l'ancienne enceinte militaire sur la colline où se situe aujourd'hui la cathédrale et le palais royal de Madrid. La légende raconte qu'en 712 avant une supposée prise de Madrid par les Arabes, les habitants de la ville ont caché une statue de la Vierge dans les murs de la muraille pour la protéger. En 1085, suite à la reconquête de la ville au 11e siècle par le roi Alphonse VI de León, après des jours de prières, une procession passe près de la puerta de la Vega et un fragment de mur de l'une des tours tombe découvrant la statue restée intacte avec les deux cierges avec lesquelles elle avait été calfeutrée toujours allumés malgré des siècles passés. C'est par la suite qu'elle devint la patronne de la ville.
En 1561, Philippe II décida de déménager la capitale, de Tolède, trop petite et confinée, à Madrid qui était située presqu'au centre du pays. Située au centre de la péninsule et de la Meseta, sur les contreforts de la sierra de Guadarrama, Madrid, à 2000 pieds par rapport au niveau de la mer, est aujourd'hui la 2e capitale la plus haute d'Europe.
En tant que l'une des plus jeunes capitales d'Europe, la ville est lumineuse, vibrante et hospitalière. L'héritage de ses deux grandes dynasties, les Habsbourg et les Bourbons, lui vaut une richesse artistique exceptionnelle, exposée au Prado ou aux musées Thyssen-Bornemisza et Reina Sofía. Cette ville cosmopolite a connu un développement extraordinaire lors des dernières décennies et frappe aujourd'hui par son animation incessante.
L'origine dell'edificio risale al 1028, quando il vescovo Jacopo il Bavaro decise di trasferire la cattedrale, che era fino ad allora presso la Badia, entro le mura della città, dedicandola a san Romolo, evangelizzatore di Fiesole.
Fu ampliato nel Duecento, come ricorda un'iscrizione datata 1260 sulla quinta colonna della navata destra, e ancora nel Trecento da Andrea Corsini. Nuove trasformazioni e abbellimenti si ebbero nei secoli successivi, finché nel 1878-1883 con finanziamento statale venne effettuato un radicale restauro, curato dal Genio Civile di Firenze, che comportò la ricostruzione integrale della facciata. Il campanile risale al 1213, ma fu rifatto nel Settecento e nel 1739 venne dotato di coronamento con merlatura sporgente.
Origin of The White Castle. For the origin of The White Castle we have to go back in time to the late Middle Ages.
In 1383 the castle was issued by duchess Johanna van Brabant to knight Pauwels van Haestrecht. This knight had big plans, because in the same year he spoke in The Hague about a house and yard.
This 'borch' consisted of a simple brick residential tower of approximately 11 by 13 meters with a wall thickness of 2 meters. The foundations of the current castle date from this period. The beautiful ribless cellar vault may also be from this time.
Loon op ’t Sant village, was close to Pauwels van Heastrecht's heart. When sand drifts increasingly threatened the village ofLoon op ’t Sant , he had a new village church built 'six steps' to the west, near the castle. This became the core of today's Loon op Zand.
A LARGE CASTLE In the course of the 15th and 16th centuries, the residential tower was extended into a grand castle. Where the English garden is now, an outer bailey was connected to the residential tower by means of an overbuilt access bridge.
This explains the extensive canal system around the castle and gardens. On the north side, earthen walls were erected for defense. The remnants of it are still clearly visible.
Persons such as the Spanish Emperor Charles V, Frederik Hendrik accompanied by the poet Constantijn Huygens (then secretary of Frederik Hendrik) visited the castle. The Sun King Louis XIV stayed there for some time, during the campaign in 1672, the disaster year, against the Republic of the Seven United Provinces. Napoleon also visited the White Castle during the French rule.
The present appearance of Het Witte Kasteel was determined by a renovation around 1777. The Van Salm tot Salm family, then in possession of the manor, gave the castle back the original shape of the residential tower. The outer bailey and the overbuilt access bridge were demolished.
The entrance to the tower was moved from the east side to the north side, where a new forecourt with outbuildings (coach house and lower house) arose. The interior was also adapted to the wishes of the 18th century with regard to comfort. This pleasant peace was rudely disrupted in the Second World War when Het Witte Kasteel was badly damaged after shelling. An impressive restoration, completed in 1950, gave Het Witte Kasteel back its former appearance.
